Using perturbation methods and Laplace–Padé approximation to solve nonlinear problems

WOS: 000328081500009In this paper, the perturbation method and Pade transformation are used to provide an approximate solution of elliptic integrals of the second kind and of complete integrals of the first kind. Besides, we used the obtained results to calculate an analytic expression for the period of a simple pendulum. The method has an acceptable accuracy for high values of the initial amplitude, compared to the relative error < 1.7% for initial angles theta <= 70 degree

Analytical Solutions for Systems of Singular Partial Differential-Algebraic Equations

This paper proposes power series method (PSM) in order to find solutions for singular partial differential-algebraic equations (SPDAEs). We will solve three examples to show that PSM method can be used to search for analytical solutions of SPDAEs. What is more, we will see that, in some cases, Padé posttreatment, besides enlarging the domain of convergence, may be employed in order to get the exact solution from the truncated series solutions of PSM

HPM Approximations for Trajectories: From a Golf Ball Path to Mercury’s Orbit

In this work, we propose the approximated analytical solutions for two highly nonlinear problems using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). We obtained approximations for a golf ball trajectory model and a Mercury orbit’s model. In addition, to enlarge the domain of convergence of the first case study, we apply the Laplace-Padé resummation method to the HPM series solution. For both case studies, we were able to obtain approximations in good agreement with numerical methods, depicting the basic nature of the trajectories of the phenomena

Application of HPM to Solve Unsteady Squeezing Flow of a Second-Grade Fluid between Circular Plates

In this article, Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to provide two approximate solutions to the nonlinear differential equation that describes the behaviour for the unsteady squeezing flow of a second grade fluid between circular plates. Comparing results between approximate and numerical solutions shows that our results are capable to provide an accurate solution and are extremely efficient

Classical Perturbation Method for the Solution of a Model of Diffusion and Reaction

In this paper, we employ perturbation method (PM) to solve nonlinear problems. As case study PM is employed to obtain approximate solutions for the nonlinear differential equation that models the diffusion and reaction in porous catalysts. We find that the square residual error (S.R.E) of our solutions is in the range and this requires only the third order approximation of PM, which shows the effectiveness of the method

A High Accurate Approximation for a Galactic Newtonian Nonlinear Model Validated by Employing Observational Data

This article proposes Perturbation Method (PM) to solve nonlinear problems. As case study PM is employed to provide a detailed study of a nonlinear galactic model. Our approach is rather elementary and seeks to explain as much detail as possible the material of this work.In particular our solution gives rise qualitatively, to the known flat rotation curves. In fact, we compare the numerical solution and the obtained approximation by employing observational data proving the validity and high accuracy of the model under study
